Proverbs 12:9-11

Modern English Version

⁹ He who is lightly esteemed and has a servant is better
    than he who honors himself and lacks bread.

¹⁰ A righteous man regards the life of his animal,
    but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

¹¹ He who tills his land will be satisfied with bread,
    but he who follows vain persons is void of understanding.
